Do you use the auto tracking for ground balance?

Funny you ask... I didn't even know about it before yesterday. I would manually balance it.. Usually around zero at the beach... I'm heading out tonight after learning about how to do the auto balance and I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. I know this doesn't answer your question but I'll get back to you..
Like anything else..... if people are finding gold their method is the best.
If you have a lot of fluffy sand .... then hard pan that gives you a lot of noise you have to decide..... manual GB, tracking or leave it at 0 and listen to the noise come and go. Personally i like the noise it tells me im close to the hard pan. Also...... comes the question...... where do i do this GB if im getting noise in the water....... at the waters edge.... wet/dry sand transition? Tracking will quiet the minerals..... but repeated swings on a VERY deep target you may track out. Also you are going to loose a little sensitivity/depth with tracking.
